Kevin Spacey, Brandon Flowers and Fiona Phillips

Steve & Tim chat to Killers frontman Brandon Flowers, Kevin Spacey and Fiona Phillips, and treat you to more brain-busting Factoids and half an hour of Non-Stop Oldies.

Steve & Tim round off a four day week of Big Shows with a chat to Killers frontman Brandon Flowers who reveals why the band have to have two tour buses when they're gigging; Artistic Director of London's Old Vic Theatre and genuine Hollywood megastar Kevin Spacey treats us to an uncanny impression of fellow actor Morgan Freeman, and former GMTV presenter Fiona Phillips gives us her thoughts on the long-running morning show's replacement.

There are more fascinating Factoids revealed, including the world's hardest tongue twister and where in America you could find a Spam museum.

In the Talkie bits, Steve and Tim reveal which Bond actor has signed up to join the cast of Brits abroad comedy 'Benidorm' and the invention of the world's first intelligent postage stamp and what's been unveiled as the UK's most useless gadget.

Today's Oldies are chosen by 22 year old mechanic Richard Muir from Brecon in South Wales who picks some stunners from Radiohead, Journey, Queen and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
